1. The purpose of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Declaration or DRIP) is to constitute the legal basis for all activities in the areas of indigenous issues. The task of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (Forum or PFII) in the years to come, following the historical adoption of the Declaration by the United Nations General Assembly 13 September 2007, will be to act within its capacity towards transforming the Declaration in its entirety to living law. This implementation to living law is fulfilled when the indigenous peoples meet the practical results on the ground.
